We didn’t want you to miss out on this week’s super-offers as seen in the I weekend Newspaper and the The Mirror’s Sunday People, so we decided to share with you some of our favourites….
We enjoyed reading Adrienne Wild’s Gardening column, with all-too-important tips on ‘How to.. Improve your lawn!’ September is an important time for your grounds and there are some cracking tips on shaping your lawn, raking , draining and how to boost that important grass growth during this time of year. Not to mention something we encounter a lot ourselves here at MowDirect and something we seem to advise many of our customers; the all too dreaded moss problems. It gently reminds us its time to consider scarifying. If you are having some moss problems why not read our previous post of Keeping your lawn Moss Free.
Adrienne’s column also reminds us that autumn and … dare I say it … Christmas ..is not too far away! One of my favourites winter plants to flower over Christmas are Hyacinths and loved reading Adrienne’s tips and suggestions for the best varieties for those important colours and heavenly sweet smells… Amethyst, Amsterdam, Delhi Blue and Pink Pear and how to force flowers during winter months. Now is the time get those bulbs.
We’ve also been busy, our MowDirect experts have been working hard to bring you this weeks amazing garden offers. My personal highlight, is the Feider FNHPT240 Petrol Pressure Washer, after seeing a demonstration at MowDirect HQ, I ended up buying one myself! This powerful, high-pressure jet washer is ideal for all your outdoor cleaning needs, powered by hefty 4- Stroke Petrol Engine and pumping out 200 Bar of water pressure, it will really take care of tough dirt on your patios, decks, bikes, cars, window, lawnmowers and much much more!
I appreciate this machine is quite a top-end model which excels on quality and power. Because of this, the tubular steel makes it quite a heavy machine, although massive 30cm wheels do make it manageable and easy to move and operate. One our other top selling pressure washers at the moment are from the Energizer range. We offer two models, the EZN2000 which offers 160 Bars of pressure and EZN2200 which offers 170 Bar. These are obviously a lot less powerful than Feider FNHPT240 but still works wonders for the standard domestic user, with the ability to clean in great detail. They are electric so much easier to maintain than petrol machines and small enough for easy storing and manage in typical British gardens and drive ways – they are a perfect fit for sheds and garages. One of the reasons why the Feider and Energizer models have become such success stories is not only their quality but also the free add-ons that providing, nozzles and attachments that will suit the job at hand.
We’ve been quite lucky so far in September with the weather and with everything going on, it’s been a blessing to still be in the garden on sunny and warm days. Its seems we may even be lucky enough for an Indian summer. The grass is still growing and needs cutting, we’ve selected three-top -petrol lawn mowers that are a cut above the rest for the job.
Like Adrienne Wilde we are also getting ready for the Autumn and Winter, there are many jobs to be done in the garden in September that will allow for a more relaxing and easy fall and subsequent winter – now is the time before the cold sets in and it becomes less and less appealing to venture into your gardens and allotments. A job I particularly enjoy doing this time of year is pruning and cutting back growth and creating mulch-type chipping that can be used to bring healthy nutrients back into the ground. Your garden will thank you for it when the spring growth comes back next year. The best way to achieve this is with a Chipper-Shredder.
There are many options of chipper-shredders to suit varying budgets and ground types. One of our most popular models, is the Feider FBT70. This domestic aimed garden shredder can be used to process woody garden waste including hedge- cuttings, twigs and small branches. It has a 173cc four-stroke petrol engine which will deliver higher performance levels than an electric model and can be used away from the house without the hassle of an extension lead. The Feider FBT70 Petrol Shredder has a belt-type drive system for smooth transmission of power to the cutting disc. It employs top-grade carbide- steel blades that excel in terms of both durability and cutting-performance; and it sits on a pair of transport wheels that ensures it will prove easy to move to and from the storage-space.
We hope you enjoy the rest for the good weather, while it lasts. From me Dick, Drew and Holly and our expert team at MowDirect are always here to help. If you have any garden related questions we would be happy to answer them!
